Along with most of the rest of the social gaming space, yes.

I've been an observer and occasionally casual admirer of Zynga, seeing them as being a bit of an experiment as far as the economics of gaming were concerned. Nonetheless, I've considered their stock to be pretty overpriced, even today.

Unfortunately, they ultimately decided to go all-in on one business model that really hasn't shown itself to be sustainable. If they don't learn from their mistakes and start trying something different, they'll be put on the ash heap of history, and I certainly won't mourn their loss. Creative destruction in action and all that.

I'm rooting for casualties. Hopefully a long, bloody war of attrition between them.

Let's take a step back here, fellas. The death of Zynga isn't going to "end the games market as we know it." The games market got along just fine before Zynga, and it will get along just fine without it.
